Living in this part of town,
Didn’t realize autumn is here.
Outside the window I’ve seen
Maple tree is still green.
Makes me remember the time
I lived elsewhere when
Trees, mountains,
Streets, gardens,
Parks, beaches,
Display different season.
Once in a while,
I visit the place I used to live –
Portland, Oregon where
Spring flowers along the fence,
Cherry blossom in Japanese Garden.
Summer spectacular in Rose Garden,
Casual playing in the park.
Autumn orange and red trees on the street
Pumpkins in a raised flower bed.
Winter skiing on Mount Adams,
Hibernating trees all around town.
The four seasons.
